Magnetic resonance imaging revealed hypoplasia of cerebellum, pons and corpus callosum as well as kinking of diencephalon and mesencephalon. These malformations of ectodermal tissue are suggestive of a defect of morphogenesis that occurred earlier than usually postulated for VACTERL cases. They resulted in severe neurologic complications and an early death. The fact that a cousin of this patient has VACTERL anomalies without cerebral involvement indicates that variable expressivity in genetically predisposed individuals may be possible for this subgroup of VACTERL cases.",
